I know I am.
I know lots of fans said without crowds they weren’t enjoying the coverage on TV but I said surely if it’s Hibs it even a good game at the Gyle Park park you can appreciate it?
Of course it’s not the same without the routine - escpaillt merting family members...but I’m looking forward to seeing how we play and if we have improved under Ross - we don’t have excuses - it’s his team and they should be ready.
The ER home support has been talked about over the years for away teams using it to help them if things aren’t going well for Hibs.
Anyway..last season wasn’t good enough. We need to move forward so looking forward to seeing how we play.

I’m looking forward to it but wouldn’t quite say I’m excited. It feels a bit odd that we’re going to be watching Hibs play a league match in an empty stadium.
Step in the right direction though which means we’re a step closer to getting back.

Being brutally honest have never been less bothered about the start of a season in my life.
Think it's a combination of lack of build up due to the Hertz circus, being unable to go and the fact I have found the last few months a struggle on furlough.
Hopefully when the programme starts all this will change.

I am but being shut out by the club as a non ST holder has put a slight dampner on it to be honest.

Watched some of the French cup final last night and quite a few fans back in stadiums - any idea what the limit is and how fans are selected ?!!
I could see similar happening for Hampden Semi finals - Hibs and Hearts with a hardcore group in a 50,000 stadium all spread out.

Sorry to hear about the Furlough - hopefully Hibs can give you some joy today and things improve.

I wouldn’t be happy if this was Killie locking Hibs out for today’s game. I know this set up is new but it needs to be open to grow the worldwide audience.
Will you be able to watch it somewhere ?

Think it’s a poor decision not to allow non season ticket holders and away supporters to view the game. Why lose income? Why alienate part of your support? I’m fortunate to be a season ticket holder but genuinely feel sorry for those unable to view the game.

Once I get the live feed this afternoon I am sure the juices will start flowing.

I’m more excited than I think I’ve ever been about a season starting.
Just feels like there’s another piece of normality returning, even if there’s very little normal about it.
As for the HibsTv thing, I get why people are annoyed and why we’re getting slated, from a completely selfish point of view though I don’t really care as long as I get to see the game. Don’t know the logic of why we’re doing it this way but if it’s a way of ensuring that season ticket holders get to watch it without interruption as a sort of trial match to see how it goes then that’s good with me.

I am excited for the game today, looking forward to seeing the new players as not seen much of Gogic/Wright and nevee seen Nisbet play. Hopefully the feed works fine and we can all watch the game without any issues, think I'm more nervous about that than the game itself!

It will be interesting to see what the sound is like. When the AFL games started you could hear every shout and it was pretty poor. They then started to overlay some random crowd sounds which really helped to make the game seem more normal, then they moved on to overlaying certain sounds when a big mark was taken or a goal scored, I’m guessing they delayed the broadcast by 1-2mins to allow sounds to be added ?
We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence,therefore, is not an act but a habit.

I assume they will have replays of key incidents on the feed too ?
I know when we went into lockdown fans were saying they missed Hibs so as another poster said hopefully gives a mental boost to many with some games being back on TV and something to talk about.

I get more nervous and frustrated watching Hibs on TV than i do at games. We really need a winning start and lay down an early marker this season. Im sick of us being the team chasing down aberdeen ect. Let them chase us for once

No not really, if I wasn’t already going out tonight I would probably go out somewhere today for lunch and not even watch it.

Thankfully 4 of the first 6 are on Sky but it feels like Hibs have forgotten a wee bit about just how difficult life is financially for some of us just now.
Regardless come on the Hibees today - let's get off to a flyer

I'd be much more excited if I was actually going to the game, but one step at a time.

Definitely feeling the buzz a wee bit. But come 2.15 I'll be ready to jump into the car and go. Need to get it into my head that I'm not going to ER!
Hate watching Hibs on TV, I just lose the plot.

The club are then not going to undermine their own marketing campaign for STs (the only way to watch Hibs in every home game this season is to buy a ST) by then allowing all games to be available to watch to non-ST holders.
Non-season ticket holders have had plenty of opportunities to buy STs, if finances allow them to do so. Yes, many can't and I know that being unable to watch the game will disappoint many who have supported the club well in the past and will do so in the future.
